What's coming in 6.0

Great stuff, thanks @girish !

I would love to see the ability to use the + delimiter in emails e.g user+ebay@domain.com or user+pizza@domain.com.

Other providers like Mailcow or Mail in a box have this feature and I find it quite handy when I am filtering spam into its own folder!

Another email feature requests is the ability to create a temporary email from the cloudron admin portal for a logged in user. Mailcow has this feature and it is again quite handy.

@ultraviolet it’s already there, see docs: https://cloudron.io/documentation/email/#subaddresses-and-tags

[ultraviolet]

@imc67 well you learn something new everyday!

Suggestion for temporary email would be handy though!

Yes I use mainly a catchall with alias for email want to use to reply
it is something I was doing with MailCow and it work well with Cloudron too.

The only thing in Cloudron you need one catchall per domain while it was possible to alias
catchall@domain2.tld to catchall@domain1.tld in MailCow

Seeing the screenshot in girish's post here (more precisely the icons of the actions on the right), I think it's already done for the next version

[nebulon]

Actually the screenshot was only a work-in-progress. The action buttons made it too cluttered so those went into the context menu. There is also an action to at least change the owner to the typical ones we currently use in apps.

[mehdi]

@nebulon A context menu ! These are quite rare on the web, so I would never have guessed to try it, but yeah it's really neat

[marcusquinn]

@nebulon Ahh, I see. Perhaps it could so with a ... at the end of the row to click as well to show that

For interest, I get "Cloudron Error" when trying to navigate into the Contents directory on my Ghost install. Guessing maybe file permissions or bug?

[mehdi]

@marcusquinn They just pushed a 5.4.1 version to fix a bug when navigating symlinks. Maybe ghosts Contents is actually a symlink and that's what you're hitting ?

[marcusquinn]

@mehdi Cool - will test again now. The error also seems to trigger Ghost to run out of memory and restart. Will test again after updating...

[marcusquinn]

@mehdi Confirmed - fixed - great work going on here!

@JOduMonT Question: what features of Cloudflare Proxy do you like? Just thinking most of it can be done another way anyway.

[MooCloud_Matt]

ty @girish for the update, we are working on OpenLiteSpeed image for WP, we are having some issue with the config file, but we hope to have a beta soon.

Unified dashboard for multiple cloudron setups - This will provide a unified auth across cloudron setups plus a single dashboard to control multiple cloudrons. Details are still being worked on and I will post it once I have more info.

[girish]

@yusf No details yet, we are working on https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2918/what-s-coming-in-5-5

@MooCloud_Matt For interest I did a bunch of performance testing for WP a couple of years ago and LiteSpeed didn't give us any edge and was slower in many cases for a large stack (200 plugins).

I have written a ticket for our devs (brandlight.org) to share the things that we tuned for a fast stack, so we will share notes soon with our Brandlight base WP & Woo stack.

Disabling open_basedir in php gives a big performance improvement on any stack.

And we make all directories non-writable for security, except /uploads/, since the only way anything can be deployed is with GitLab CI/CD with appropriate write permissions.

We don't use full-page caching, just fragments and transients and these are our TTFB times for interest, like I say 200+ plugins:

• https://status.brandlight.org (Cloudflare)
• https://status.swanson.co.uk (Route53)
• https://status.healthshop.net (Route53 but moving to DNS Made Easy)

Each on Vultr VMs with Network WAF, and no CDN yet.

Plus, on any of those sites, you should see similar times with any language - again I'll ask our dev team to share more on all that when we get time too.

Maybe there's more to LiteSpeed that we missed but the above is with Apache, Nginx and FastCGI.

[MooCloud_Matt]

@marcusquinn

I agree that OLS or LS are not the solution, because Nginx + FastCGI + ProxyCache are excellent (with LS + ESI woocommerce it works better in any situation in this days) especially in big sites with a lot o page, content and static content like images.
But large sites are exceptional cases in the hosting world, especially those who would use cloudron do not have a huge site because they would prefer to use a custom stack in that case.
We are thinking of satisfying the customer who wants performance without doing anything other than installing the LiteSpeed cache plugin.
